Your ? is a little confusing but I think you are asking if you should use the digital audio connections from your DVD player and Sat box into your Onkyo HTIB even though your TV has no such thing? If you want surround sound you will have to use some sort of digital audio connection from those pieces of equipment to your HTIB. If you don't, you will only have a stereo affect.
Hey all,
got a onkyo HTIB that is connected to a TV that has svideo and rca jacks for audio and video. ALso running a satelite box and basic dvd player. Does it make sense to bother with digital coaxial cables (or svideo) if the lowest component doesn't have digital inputs/outputs (TV)?
Thanks
